Did that whole tour that summer and it just felt like this was the end of something that was so pure and beautiful and at this show a bunch of my friends and myself knew that it was the last time we would ever see Papa Bear play again. I went home the next day with a very heavy heart but a thousand beautiful memories of 10 years of touring with the boys and then a month later ………. Thanks for a lifetime of fun and beautiful memories Nothing left to do know but Smile Smile Smile
HI Rob. I was right there with ya summer '95. You're right, it just felt off. Deer Creek gate crash and show cancelling, house lights on in St. Louis. Jerry was really hit and miss during this time too. That being said, I'd have done it again and again.
Something about it this is so organic and beautiful. It is like the last night of summer camp. The curtains closing on a beautiful thing. God bless this band!
Just like when Brent sang Far From Me at The World on the last night in 1990, I felt something wasn't quite right when Jerry sang Black Muddy River for the very last time.
A dia de hoy, escucho esta cancion y se me estrece el cuerpo. Dios mio, Jerry, qué barbaridad de cancion, la cantas de esa manera tan personal, como sólo tú sabias hacerlo, que por mi interior entran sentimientos y emociones tan fuertes, que me entristecen, me llenan de pena... y es que ya no estás con nosotros. Pero tu música permanecerá en mi hasta el último suspiro. Gracias. Hasta siempre Jerry. Adios recordados y añorados Grateful Dead.
I have that Chill again. I miss You Jerry. Say Hello to My Brother Michael ( whom I miss dearly ) if you happen to see Him. As You always said , Thanks A Lot.
I was at this show, and remember that when Jerry did this song, I couldn't help but feel that something wasn't right. I couldn't quite tell what it was, nor put my finger on it, but I wasn't the only one who felt that "Weird" vibes were coming from the stage. Thank goodness they decided to immediately go into Box of Rain to try to smooth out the uneasiness of the whole situation. We all know what happened one month later. I'm not sure how many people realized they were witnessing Jerry's very last performance ever, but I was glad to be part of it in many ways. I still can't really listen to the tape of this particular show, even though they did an excellent Unbroken Chain, a song they had never done in concert until that year. It is both eerie and bittersweet at the same time.
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger And the hot sun chills me to the bone When I can't hear the song for the singer And I can't tell my pillow from a stone I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain And the stars start to splatter in the sky When the moon splits the southwest horizon With the scream of an eagle on the fly I will walk alone by the black muddy river And listen to the ripples as they moan I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own Black muddy river, roll on forever I don't care how deep or wide if you've got another side Roll muddy river, roll muddy river Black muddy river, roll Black muddy river, roll on forever I don't care how deep or wide if you've got another side Roll muddy river, roll muddy river Black muddy river, roll When it seems like the night will last forever And there's nothing left to do but count the years When the strings of my heart start to sever And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears I will walk alone by the black muddy river And dream me a dream of my own I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own And sing me a song of my own
I woke up with this song in my mind and had to play it right away. Tears still here. Sometimes it’s like this for me. And I sit alone and weep. Idk why. I’ve done it for years now. And I read all of our comments. And I miss it…and want it back…want the nights with him back. The feeling and the sense that it was all just ok and there was always tomorrow and life was always gonna be here….
I was there and it was a rough show. You could tell he wasn't well. He looked terrible and most of the performance he seemed to be struggling. It was such a sad time. I was also at Brent's last show. Why do they have to die after playing the Chicagoland area?

Beautifully said
What a great song at the end of the Grateful Dead. So perfect
This was near the end for Jerry.
Some of the heads that were at this show said they could sense it.
Just like when Brent sang Far From Me at The World on the last night in 1990, I felt something wasn't quite right when Jerry sang Black Muddy River for the very last time.
Still miss Jerry and the Grateful Dead Revivals for so many of us that freed us from the world
Tq great listening
Papa Bear will live on forever in his music❤✌

He aged a lot in the last 3-4 years of his remarkable life. so missed.
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger
And the hot sun chills me to the bone
When I can't hear the song for the singer
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain
And the stars start to splatter in the sky
When the moon splits the southwest horizon
With the scream of an eagle on the fly
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And listen to the ripples as they moan
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
Black muddy river, roll on forever
I don't care how deep or wide if you've got another side
Roll muddy river, roll muddy river
Black muddy river, roll
Black muddy river, roll on forever
I don't care how deep or wide if you've got another side
Roll muddy river, roll muddy river
Black muddy river, roll
When it seems like the night will last forever
And there's nothing left to do but count the years
When the strings of my heart start to sever
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And dream me a dream of my own
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
And sing me a song of my own

WAY down in the front. Row #9 on the floor…. that’s where I was. 13yo me.

I hear his band mates told him not to sing it....they had the premonition !
😭😭😭
Yep
I watched the Amazon minseries someone commented how it he was like singing about his own death
Was this the encore ?
This was the encore......then Phil went into Box of Rain
And the So Many Roads earlier in the show was crushing
🤟
